Crotchless panties with a music chip.
If they make 'em with 80's protest rock, I'm sold.
First up, let me thank Loretta Nall (for governor), Bitter Old Punk, who seems none of the three in person, and Steven Gordon for a great lunch yesterday. I really had fun. Meet with other bloggers face to face whenever you can, people. It's so worth it.
There's a meme going around about pick your favorite anti-war song and give a bit of the lyrics. Since I've had Billy Bragg on the brain (and in the minivan) all week:
Help save the youth of America
Help save the youth of the world
Help save the boys in uniform
Their mothers and their faithful girls
Listen to the voice of the soldier
Down in the killing zone
Talking about the cost of living
And the price of bringing him home
They're already shipping the body bags
Down by the Rio Grande
But you can fight for democracy at home
And not in some foreign land...
And don't forget to download Billy's Bush War Blues for free here.
PS. Wit List has a parody of Jabberwocky that absolutely rocks. Go visit.
Hands down it's David Rovics' Who Would Jesus Bomb.
ReplyDeleteYou can download it (and all the rest of his music - and he rocks like Japan in an Earthquake) at his website, www.davidrovics.com
That was very cool.
ReplyDeleteHad a great time yesterday BlueGal!! We'll have to do it again very soon.
ReplyDeleteI am planning to organize something at Speakers Corner in the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted.
In Liberty,
Loretta Nall
Enjoyed meeting you, Steve, and Loretta Wednesday! We should do it again. As for the anti-war-theme meme (and to prove that I am, in fact Punk As Fuck), here's my contribution:
ReplyDeleteBig Stick, by The Minutemen
Well over there
in Nicaragua my friend
we're making mistakes,
once again!
Uncle Sam supports
a fascist regime
that doesn't represent
the people over there!
We're told
that we hold
a big stick over there
but we lie
to ourselves
with a big stick
up our ass....
This is what
I'm singing about,
the race war
that America supports!
Indians will never die,
They'd do just fine
if we'd let them try.
Written, obviously, about US involvement in Latin America in the 80s, but replace "Nicaragua" with "Iraq" and "Indian" with "Arab" and you get the picture.
Plus ca change, and all that.
